There could be other numbers within the attribute. I should have said
earlier, but we're running Universe.

Hi Pam,
I am guessing you are on Unidata and probably a Datatel client, and if so,
many of the suggested methods won't work as they are designed for Universe.
The i-desc below should work for you. It returns your number 073102. More
over, it returns any number of numbers depending on how many "COM

I would do it in a subroutine called from an I Type.
1: I
2: SUBR('GET.NUMBER',fieldname)
...
The subroutine could walk the values of the field and find the "COMBO YS"
and pick off the number.
SUBROUTINE GET.NUMBER(ANS,FIELDNAME)
ANS = ''
VM.CNT = DCOUNT(FIELDNAME,@VM)
FOR I = 1 TO VM.CNT
Is there any other number in there? If not, why not simply use the
MCN conversion?

I forget which format is used in the DICT I desc. I haven't tested
this. I believe the REUSE needs to be there...

Hi Pamela,
Personally, I would setup a SUBR type dict and then just do a loop:
SUBROUTINE SUB.GET.NBR(RETURN.VALUE, DATA.ITEM)
C = DCOUNT(DATA.ITEM,@VM)
RETURN.VALUE = ""
FOR I = 1 TO C
IF DATA.ITEM<1,I>[1,8] = "COMBO YS" THEN
RETURN.VALUE = FIELD(DATA.ITEM<1,I>,' ',3)
RETURN
END
NEXT
